Course selection is now complete for the 2025-2026 school year. Teachers also revisited recommendations at the end of marking period 3. Dropped courses, level changes and course changes due to schedule conflicts only are allowed from this point through the end of the 2024-2025 school year. Course requests are viewable in Powerschool -> Class Registration.
The Course Level Waiver Form is now closed. Opportunities for course waivers will be made available again in August.
Students will be contacted in June if there are any conflicts with scheduled courses. Scheduled courses will be made available in July. Schedules with room and teacher assignments will be viewable in PowerSchool in August 2025.
If students would like to make changes to scheduled electives over the summer, there will be an opportunity to set up a meeting for the schedule change committee on August 26, 2025.
SENIOR EXIT SURVEY
The CHS school counselors will meet with seniors Thursday, June 5 and Friday, June 6 during their Phys Ed class to confirm post-secondary plans in Naviance. If your student will not be in school they must contact their school counselor to complete the survey prior to graduation. Final transcripts will be sent to colleges/universities by the end of June based on the senior exit survey.
*IN ADDITION:
Completing the FAFSA is now a NJ state graduation requirement. Follow these directions to complete a form in Powerschool indicating if you're completing the FAFSA. You may also waive tracking data through the completion of this form. This must be completed in order for seniors to graduate. Any questions, please contact your school counselor or Mrs. Burfeindt, Director of School Counseling.
Your child’s school counselor will notify you in June if summer school is recommended or required. These schools are tuition based schools, so please be sure to obtain approval from Cranford High School by submitting the Summer School Application before attending or submitting payment to any school or online program. The credit recovery application and summer school options can be found here.
